Cybersecurity is a vital technology and measures intended to protect networks, computers, information, and programs from threats and illegal access, modification, or damage. A security model covers a network and a computer safety method. Each system has antivirus software, firewalls, and an intrusion detection system (IDS). IDS helps in discovering and identifying illegal system behavior such as usage, copying, alteration, and damage. By estimating network traffic anomalies and patterns, deep learning (DL) models can enhance the detection abilities of IDS when compared to traditional rule-based methods. These models learn complex representations from data, authorizing them to recognize subtle and developing attack patterns. Techniques like recurrent neural network (RNN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) can be applied to progress consecutive or spatial features in network data, correspondingly. This manuscript empowers Cybersecurity by utilizing an Enhanced Rat Swarm Optimizer with a Deep Stack-Based Ensemble Learning (ERSO-DSEL) model. The ERSO-DSEL approach leverages feature selection (FS) with EL strategies to boost cybersecurity. In the ERSO-DSEL system, Z-score normalization is employed to measure the input data. Besides, an improved equilibrium optimizer (IEO) based FS approach is applied to choose a set of features. For cyberattack recognition, the ERSO-DSBEL approach uses the DSEL approach comprising three models namely deep neural network (DNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM). Furthermore, the hyperparameter selection of these DL models takes place using the ERSO system. The solution result of the ERSO-DSBEL model is executed on a benchmark IDS database. A widecontrast study reported that the ERSO-DSBEL model accomplishes an enhanced accuracy outcome of 99.67% over other models of cybersecurity.
